EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT
MITCHELL C. SKLAR
USE OF THE NJSACOP LOGO
Over the past several weeks, I have received multiple requests for information regarding
the use of the NJSACOP logo. I would like to think that these multiple requests reflect the
high esteem and respect that our Association enjoys both within and outside the
organization.
Regardless of the reasons, it seems to be an opportune time to remind our members and affiliates of the long-
standing policy adopted by the Association for the use and display of the NJSACOP logo.
Use of the Association’s distinctive logo is a benefit of membership. Members are encouraged to promote the
Association and what it stands for by using the logo on forms, business cards, and stationery.
The logo, and any marks associated with the Association, are the property of the NJSACOP and are protected by
state and federal laws. Use of the logo is contingent upon agreement to the following licensing provisions:
1. The logo is the property of the Association;
2. Members in good standing may use the logo on stationery and in other written materials to indicate
membership;
3. Members may not use the logo to state or imply that the Association has endorsed a company or specific
products or services;
4. Members agree not to place the logo on products;
5. Members will indemnify and hold the Association harmless for any damages, including attorney's fees, incurred
by the member as a result of use of the logo;
6. Members agree to cease using the Association's logo upon request of the Board of Officers; and
7. Members agree to pay the Association all costs and attorney's fees incurred by the Association in any action
against a member to enforce the terms of the license agreement.
All Chiefs of Police are encouraged to use the Association’s logo on their business cards, letterhead, websites, and
other official documents. County police chiefs associations are also encouraged to utilize the state association logo
as a component of their own logo.
If a member needs additional copies of the association logo, please contact me directly.
